It can be hard flying solo. And according to OASIS singer NOEL GALLAGHER, rock stars are no exception.

After leaving legendary band Oasis in 2009, the eldest of the two Gallagher brothers set out on his own with the opening of his label Sour Mash Records. But he lost so much money in the venture that he had to hide it from his wife!

Local girls take home the 2015 Rock Work Of The Year award

Local rock’n’roll guru’s Stonefield have taken home the Rock Work of the Year award at the 2015 APRA Music Awards for their kickass track ‘Love You Deserve’.

The family four-piece took the country by storm with their critically acclaimed 2013 self titled album, which earned them international attention and blasted their authentic rock sound around the world with a well earned spot at the Glastonbury festival.

Currently in the studio recording with Spiderbait member Kram, the girls have a new album in the works and have promised a bunch of exciting announcements to come.

Late last year fans of QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE rejoiced when front man Josh Homme let loose that the boys had new tunes ready for the studio. Not only that, but in an interview with Rolling Stone Homme said, “We have more than enough songs. We’re booked til September, but after that we plan to jump in the studio and get going.”

Yet here we are in March 2015 with news from bassist Mikey Shuman that the band is already ‘taking a break’.

Speaking to Gigwise, Shuman said, “There will be future stuff with Queens, we’re just taking a break since we had a long, long two years of touring. We’ll take a break to do other stuff.”

QOTSA initially seemed enthusiastic to get a run on entering the studio “because we were in a good spot, having fun and the record (‘…Like Clockwork’) had done really well”, said Shuman. “But we decided to take a break because we had been going so hard for so long…It’s not like we’re sick of each other and don’t want to do it – it’s just better to step back for a second and come back once the world has had a bit of a break from you.”

Shuman will be working on his side project 'Mini Mansions', which just finished a European tour with British boys Royal Blood, and really believes the well-earned break will kick QOTSA up a notch when they hit the studio next.

“I think music and working with different people is the kind of process where you gain things along the way,” Shuman said. “And that’s what’s great about Queens – it’s a very open family and everyone is free to do what they want and bring different aspects about what they do to the table.”

But with a trendy 6 years between past releases ‘Era Vulgaris’ (2007) and ‘…Like Clockwork’ (2013), the news has left QOTSA fans gagging for more album updates to (hopefully) come.
